It was my eating day yesterday and I made the falafels once again and for dinner I had Lahsuni Paneer with my new experimental wheat gluten Tava Roti.. it turned out very good and went perfectly with the curry. I also ate 2 slices of Almond Banana Bread with whipped cream for Dessert.

Baked Egg does sound very good. How long does it need to be microwaved? I ate day before yesterday and now will be eating tomorrow morning so haven't got much to report but day before yesterday I made falafel from frozen edamame beans and frozen peas. Turned out quite good, so updated on my...

I present yet another successful experiment - This was after my long..ish fast (72 hrs) so had to be a soup - I am calling it Minty Basil Mushroom Soup with all my creative might :p and recipe can be found here. I was not sure how it will turn out, so I made just enough for myself, but my...

I liked these too but after reading the book Ultra Processed People from Dr. Chris van Tulleken, I stopped having it as these are definitely in the category of ultra processed foods and after reading that book I don't think there is any chance one would be able to continue eating UPF.... it is...

Well for Tomato Keftedes - there is no reason why you could not do it with just Vital Wheat Gluten alone. I was of two minds on that and will prbably try just with wheat gluten next time round anyway. For Cheesy Bites - I am sure any low carb flour should work becuase it just gives a bit of...

It was my eating day yesterday and my creative juices were well and truly flowing. With success at hand I enjoyed a nice low carb version of greek snackery for my dinner. Cheesy Bites: Recipe Here Tomato Keftedes: Recipe Here I do hope people will try these because they did turn out very...

Yes they do provide values for Tescos and M&S but for that the source is CRDB which is their proprietary DB and is used if item is not available on NCCDB. CRDB is something they have built in-house and neither provide an api for nor the app allows sharing outside of cronometer framework so not...

You know I have come to realise that cronometer uses NCCDB database which is US centric and while it will be fairly good at indicating numbers for most foods in the UK still for some it can be off the mark... but that said US Govt. site does offer a free public api and so that is probably what I...

Thanks I actually referenced that - infact the script I have written is for the moment really just referencing that excel which I loaded on github (https://github.com/techb0lt/techb0lt.github.io/tree/main_techb0lt/docs/assets/tables) in hope that will be enough and I wont need to bother scraping...

Hi Guys, Can anyone suggest what is the most reliable source to get net carbs for various food items. I have been looking at various sites and while they all enjoy good reputation, they tend to give quite different numbers. As an example sainsbury's own site says Almond Nuts have about 13.3g...

Hey everyone, As some may already have seen the pdf for my mostly vegetarian diet and I used to get lot of requests from friends and family to share the pdf as well. It was getting a bit tedious to update it. In addition if i had to refer document, jumping between steps and recipe was a pain and...

I have been experimenting a lot since I got my hands on the wheat gluten based no egg bread recipe and I made a veggie pizza and Garlic bread... it was very tasty and filling.. recipe here if i calculated it correctly the whole pizza and garlic bread was about 70gms carb. Between my wife, my...

That happens with me too. And yes definite vote of yes for stress. I have seen stress causing spikes even when I was fasting for 60+ hours which many here would know I do fairly regularly. Same when I am in meetings with difficult customers or when am talking to my dad. Also seen that...

While I can't say with absolute certainty, I have collected enough data to convince me that walking no matter how tiring invariably lowers the blood glucose levels, not so if you are running or engaging in heavy workout. I don't know the reason though I suspect it is to do with the way blood...

I agree 100% with @Resurgam ... having said that the app prediction can be a hit or miss depending on how many readings you have fed into it and even if you have something like libre or diabox it is an indication at best... as an example my last hba1c was 49 (mostly down to stress and not diet...

HbA1c as I understand is the count of red blood cells which have a shelf life of roughly 3 months and are higher when BG is higher their population tends to increase and hence higher HbA1c results are bad... so if you have severe blood loss due to injury you can have a a HbA1c showing lesser...

The most important lever is the food you eat. Exercise helps but isn't the most important and in fact heavy workouts will cause spike in everyone (non-diabetics included). This is because when we exercise, multiple things happen at the same time. For one - exercising makes the body burn energy...

Like others have also mentioned, lower average is a good thing but a straight line is more important. As diabetics we are very susceptible to a bizarre graph with significant spikes making the 24 hours BG graph look like a sine wave and while that could mean a low average it will cause far more...
